Welding Print Reading exam
1. The main purpose of drawings in the welding industry is to: communicate ideas in
graphic or picture form
2. Drawings today are usually created using: CAD techniques
3. A type of computer output device that works based on electrostatic princi-
ples is the: laser printer
4. Which type of drawing can be used to test prototypes and assemblies?: CAD
drawing
5. Which of the following are not included on a welding print?: photographs
6. Another term for xerography is: electrostatic process
7. The electrostatic process relies on the principles that: opposite charges attract and like
charges repel
8. Which reproduction process consists of making a tracing, developing and
fixing a print, and then washing and drying the print?: Blueprint process
9. Which type of computer output device mimics the motion that a human
hand might make while drawing?: Pen plotter
10. Which reproduction technique was originally developed to reduce the stor-
age needed for original drawings?: Microfilm process
11. Another term for a print of an original drawing is: Reproduction
12. The lines and figures that have specific meanings in welding drawings to
accurately describe the shape, size, material, finish, and fabrication of an
object are: symbols
13. Even though the actual process is not used much anymore, the term
is commonly used to refer to prints made by any process: blue print
14. A machining system that uses information from CAD drawings to produce
parts and assemblies is a system: CAM
15. An inexpensive computer output device that may be small enough to fit on
a desktop is a printer: inkjet
16. Print created from a microfilm negative: Blow-back
17. Reproduction technique that uses an electrostatic charge to duplicate an
, original: Xerography
18. General term for a duplicate of an original drawing: Print
